An awesome book of hippy-psychedelic-erotic style! Highly recommended for fans of Sam Haskins and Wingate Paine. Hippie chicks, bikers, nudity, etc....Much of it shot in New York, with solarized processing, high contrast, blurred graininess and a section printed on a translucent vellum-like paper. For a contemporary audience, the main draw for this book would have been the model Haruko Wanibuchi, a well-known film star who appeared regularly on in ads and the tabloids. Coinciding with the release of the book as an Ipy Girl Ipy LP, with a a cover design that is a variant of the book's, on which she sings and plays violin [also very collectible!; watch a video here!]. A high profile department store exhibition with coverage in Camera Mainichi also followed.

Fine-; slight wear to lower edges; a few spots of foxing; obi has 1 in./2.5 cm tear with some adjacent creasing.
